Our objective is to develop self-confidence, discipline, respect for society, cultural awareness, fundamental leadership traits, and to perform veterans and community out-reach. Furthermore, we strive to teach our Cadets to take the initiative by leading and educating their peers about the dangers of gangs, drugs, and alcohol abuse. Paramount in our Cadet Corps is the importance of family values, excellence in school, and community involvement.
